North Central WOD 2: "The Lift"

The North Central Regional WODs have been announced: WOD 1: 1400m Run, WOD 2: 25 min 1 RM Ground to Overhead (basically Clean & Jerk), WOD 3: 3 Rounds of Row 500m, 12 OHS @ 115lb, and 50 Double Unders. WOD 4 will be announced on Saturday evening. I like'em. I've always said, "The simpler the WOD, the smaller the margin of error...they also tend to suck more." These workouts will be simple and straight forward. Since we're still a few days out, I took a stab at WOD 2 today. I got a 5lb PR (not much but I'll take it anyday) and managed to mess around with some technique things. It was definately a productive workout. My progression was 135, 185, 205, 235, 250 (previous PR), 255-PR, 265 failed on the jerk overhead.

CrossFit Springfield

CrossFit Springfield is so much more than a place for elite athletes to become stronger, faster, more powerful, more flexible, more athletic, more agile, and more mentally tough. It's more than a place to gain greater work capacity over broad time and modal domains, and to set PRs and take off your shirt and roll around on the ground gasping for oxygen in a pile of sweat and possibly vomit.

CrossFit Springfield also happens to be a safe place where untrained or deconditioned athletes participate to test and better their strength, their endurance, and their will to become better people and better athletes. Fortunately for them, they receive daily instruction and coaching by the most caring, straight forward, knowledgeable, and motivating strength and conditioning coaching team in SouthWest Missouri.

There are two types of pain in life. The pain of discipline and the pain of regret. Any CrossFitter will tell you "It won't be easy" This is because it shouldn't be easy. You will earn your fitness. And your life will thank you for it.
